The ground and weather in Spokane Valley

Springdale ground, gravelly and quick to drain

The USDA soil survey maps Urban land-Springdale, disturbed complex, 0 to 3 percent slopes, at the ZIP's center point. Urban land, paved or built over, makes up 65 percent of that map unit, and the word disturbed says much of the rest has been graded, filled or moved during building.[1]

The Springdale series accounts for 30 percent of the map unit. Its top mineral layer is gravelly ashy coarse sandy loam, a mouthful that describes the ground well: coarse sand and rounded gravel mixed with fine volcanic ash that drifted in long ago. Ashy soil feels light and fluffy when dry and holds a surprising amount of water for its weight, yet the gravel and coarse sand keep it loose and open.[1]

The survey rates the Springdale soil somewhat excessively drained, the class just short of the driest, and puts it in hydrologic group B, with moderate infiltration. Shrink-swell is low, at 1.5 percent. Water leaves this ground quickly, and it hardly moves with moisture. Those are good traits under a gravel drive and a challenge in a garden bed, where water drains away before roots can use it.[1]

Felts Field normals and a long cold season

Weather normals come from the NOAA station at Spokane Felts FLD, WA, about 5 miles away. It averages 17.4 inches of precipitation a year, a modest total, and some of it arrives as snow or cold rain in the winter months.[2]

The Felts Field station counts 123 days a year when the low reaches 32 F or colder. On many of those days the afternoon warms above freezing, so any water held in a base freezes, expands and thaws again many times. On fast-draining Springdale ground, little water stays near the surface, which is a natural advantage against frost heave.[2]

The station's median last spring freeze arrives on April 26. Its median first fall freeze arrives on October 15. Tender plants go in after the April date, and most base work suits the dry stretch between those two dates.[2]

A drive base that shrugs off frost

On somewhat excessively drained gravelly loam, a gravel drive starts with a head start. Strip away loose surface material and any old organic matter, then compact the gravelly subgrade until it stops moving. On disturbed ground, dig a few test holes first to find soft pockets of old fill and replace them with compacted Fill Sand or Road Base.[1]

Build up the base with Road Base in lifts, compacting each layer. Crushed Concrete packs just as firmly if you prefer recycled material. Because the native soil drains fast and the station counts 123 freezing days a year, a base that stays dry is the main goal, and fabric is only needed where you find fine, silty fill instead of native gravel.[1],[2]

Top the drive with 3/4" Crushed Stone or Driveway Gravel. Asphalt Millings are a strong choice where you plow a lot, since they bind into a firm crust that a blade does not scatter. Each spring, rake plowed stone off the lawn edges and back onto the drive, then roll it to settle the top.[2]

Beds and lawns on ash and gravel

Gravelly ashy coarse sandy loam drains so quickly that new beds can dry out between waterings. Blend generous amounts of Compost into the top layer to help it hold water and nutrients, or build raised beds and fill them with Garden Soil. Topsoil spread a few inches deep over the gravel gives a lawn a better start than seeding straight into stony ground.[1]

Mulch helps on both ends of the growing season. Brown Shredded Mulch or Wood Chips spread a few inches deep slow evaporation through the dry months, and a fresh layer added after the median first fall freeze of October 15 shields roots from the freeze and thaw cycles that follow. Pull mulch back from emerging plants after the median last freeze of April 26.[2]

Where part of a yard sits over old fill or a buried slab, as the high urban share of the map unit suggests, build beds up rather than digging down. That keeps roots in clean, loose soil.[1]

#57 Crushed Stone or Pea Gravel for walks and borders

For walks, borders and the strip beside a garage, most owners pick between angular #57 Crushed Stone and round Pea Gravel. On fast-draining Springdale ground, water is not the issue. The issue is winter, when a path is shoveled and walked on frozen boots for many weeks.[1],[2]

#57 Crushed Stone locks together and stays put under a shovel, so it suits the main walk to the door and any path you clear after snow. Pea Gravel is smoother and nicer underfoot in summer, but its round stones roll and get pushed into the lawn by a shovel blade. Use Pea Gravel for garden paths and play areas that sit unused through the cold months at the Felts Field station, and #57 Crushed Stone where you need a firm route all year.[1],[2]

With a low shrink-swell rating of 1.5 percent, edging holds its line well on this soil. A steel or paver border keeps either stone in place and makes spring cleanup quick.[1]

Decomposed Granite or Stone Dust Screenings for a patio

A firm gravel patio is a popular, low-upkeep choice on Springdale ground, and the two surfaces most people weigh are Decomposed Granite and Stone Dust Screenings. Each one packs down into a tight floor once wetted and rolled. Decomposed Granite has a warm, coarse look and a little more grit, while Stone Dust Screenings are finer and grayer and lock into an almost smooth finish.[1]

Winter decides which one lasts better here. A tight surface sheds most water across its face, so the base below has to drain whatever gets through before it freezes. Over somewhat excessively drained gravelly loam, that is rarely a problem, provided the patio sits on two or three inches of compacted Road Base and slopes a little away from the house. Stone Dust Screenings pack slightly tighter and resist the scuffing of snow shovels better. Decomposed Granite looks more natural beside native plantings and lawn.[1],[2]

On disturbed fill, check for soft spots before building either patio, and set a steel or paver edge so the fines stay in place through spring melt.[1]

Housing in ZIP 99206 and the WSDOT spec

The Census counts 17,190 housing units in ZIP 99206. Detached single-family houses make up 64 percent of them, and owners live in 62 percent of the occupied homes.[3]

Spokane Valley as a whole holds 45,467 housing units, and 60 percent are detached houses. The median home dates from 1977 in the ZIP and 1979 across the city. With a solid majority of detached, owner-occupied houses, many orders here are for driveway refreshes, RV and trailer pads, and new beds.[3]

The Washington State Department of Transportation names Crushed Surfacing Base Course in Section 9-03.9(3) of its Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction M 41-10 (2027). That section covers the crushed stone layer placed under state roads.[4]

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need fabric under gravel in Spokane Valley?

Not on native ground in most cases. The Springdale gravelly ashy coarse sandy loam at the ZIP's center point is somewhat excessively drained with a low shrink-swell rating, so a compacted base sits well on it. Use fabric where test holes show soft, silty fill from past construction, since that material can pump up into stone when wet.

How do I keep a gravel drive from heaving in winter?

Keep the base dry. The Spokane Felts FLD station, about 5 miles away, counts 123 days a year with a low of 32 F or colder. Compact the gravelly subgrade, build Road Base in lifts, and crown the drive so melt runs off. The fast-draining native soil does much of the work for you.

What goes under pavers here?

Clear loose material, compact the gravelly subgrade, then build a firm base of compacted Road Base in thin lifts. Screed a smooth bed of Concrete Sand, set the pavers and sweep Mason Sand into the joints. A thick, dry base keeps pavers from lifting through the many freeze and thaw cycles each winter.

When should I plant in ZIP 99206?

The Felts Field station has a median last spring freeze of April 26 and a median first fall freeze of October 15. Plant tender crops after late April. Mix Compost into the fast-draining soil, or use raised beds with Garden Soil, and mulch after planting to hold moisture.

Which stone works best for an RV pad?

A thick, compacted base of Road Base topped with 3/4" Crushed Stone holds the weight of an RV well. For a pad that sits under a heavy trailer through winter, a layer of 1-1/2" Crushed Gravel or Railroad Ballast below the Road Base adds strength and drainage. Make the pad a little larger than the vehicle so the edges do not crumble.
